221 | How do these accounts reconcile? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 204201 | ||
Dear John, thanks for the link, I appreciate that John. This is a question that comes up often when I am talking to middle eastern Muslims, New York is full of em. I had tried to get Doc, Hank and Lionheart to take a look at my Islam tracts in order to give me an opinion of the contents, but got no answers back. I need help with this issue of answering their accusations and observations instead of continually telling them that if they don't take Jesus blood they are going to hell. That doesn't address their concerns about their inability to believe what our scriptures say. I don't assume you will be interested in helping out with this, but if you are my email drop is; whatdoyoubelieve@hotmail.com. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
222 | Wisodom has the power to save? | Rom 10:17 | Tamara Brewington | 204178 | ||
Dear John, 1)Mathew 18:15 says If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. Sinning is simply missing the mark, when we don't give the lost the saving message of the Gospel when we are teaching them the scriptures we are missing the mark. All I was doing was pointing out to him this point, not having a confrontational attitude toward my techer. This teacher and I had a running open conversation about this via email for two solid weeks in the spirit opennes and of getting at the truth. This is what I meant by confronting him, I did it in a gentle manner, I started by asking him some questions, not blasting him out of the water. 2)The ubelievers heard the parables because Jesus intended that their ears and eyes whould remain closed because they rejected the messenger, He told the disciples that the parables were for them to understand the msyteries. 3)The Sermon on the Mount is one example of Jesus preaching about the kingdom having come in their midst which was the way people were getting saved then, by repenting of their sins and believing that Jesus was God. 4)Revelation of God and Christ is progressive, from the OT to the NT and from when Jesus was walking around preaching repentance and the kingdom is come to Pentecost after which the disciples stopped preaching repentance and the kingdom is come and started preaching repentance and the crucufixion of Christ. Which should be the gospel we preach to get people saved? 5)I have noticed that I am seen in here at least as being confrontational if I am willing to give an answer for the hope that lies within me, for lack of a better way of stating it. Why is that? 6)When I was gathered with the unbelievers I went along with the program without pointing out anything, or segueing into the gospel message, I waited until we were in private. 7)Glad you are still willing to communicate, God Bless, Tamara |

Dear Kemmy, 1)By those qualifications then people can be apostles today. 2)Is that what you mean for me to understand? God bless, Tamara |

226 | Wisodom has the power to save? | Rom 10:17 | Tamara Brewington | 204167 | ||
So the Word of Christ is scriputre, OK got that. 1)II Timothy 3:17,17 is talking about all scriputre being profitable to the man of God, to the saved... 2)Not to the unbeliever, to them it's foolishness I Corinthians 1:18. I agree we need to use sound judgment in choosing a scripture to evangelize. 3)I agree that if you use a scripture and then lead into the message of crucifixion then any scripture can be used, but this guy was not doing that, which I specified in my context. 4)That is why I asked can the wisdom of Jesus alone from the Parables or the Sermon on the Mount have the power to draw people salvifically to Christ? God Bless, Tamara |

227 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | Tamara Brewington | 204146 | ||
Dear Val, I finally found out how to use the threads and found your comments to others about what I said. Yeah your comment made me think back to something I said to John, that my pastor was teaching about this but was unwilling to make a fight about it because he had other bigger fights to fight (not me, the other women were fighting about it in Bible study and believe me the majority do not wear hats). No one in my church is required to wear hats, nor do I advocate others wear hats just becuase I do. I am sorry you can't see over the hats in your church, hats should not be fine huge things with braided pearls, that ain't modest. I wonder if you thought I was advocating hats from your comment here about putting stumbling blocks? Or that becuase I was concerned about maybe being obedient to excersising the symbol the same way we do baptism or the Lord's supper (I know it ain't on that level honey, but its the priciple). I thought Doc said something interesting about sin and was very surprised that he actually thinks I am walking around wearing a hat and not examining my heart just because I wear a hat. I didn't expect that kind of bias in here especialy from him. John made himself clear, to him it was a big waste of time and a laugh, funny thing about John, he made his strongest comments to me, rather than to the rest of you. Knowledge does puff up so does judging one another's motives. I doubt any one of you took me seriously as someone who was honestly seeking to understand something no one in all their alofness has bothered to answer yet. The question stands, is it just normal to first century Christians, or as Paul describes should we consider it to be a moral issue. When we take scripture and decide it doesn't apply anymore because society has changed that is called transference, taking scripture and changing its application to fit what we believe based on what society is doing today. And that was the basis of my question, not strife causing, not pride, not an unwillingness to examine my heart. I got another notice from you and am trying to comply by numbering the contexts of my questions, the scriptures, if any, and my questions. Now I would like to say, I appreciated it when you told me what you thought... | ||||||
228 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | Tamara Brewington | 204145 | ||
Dear Doc, this is Tam, just caught on to how the threads work. Interesting that you and Val chose to say the things I am finding here, but were both unwilling to say them directly to me... As I said to John, I hope I am still teachable to you... If I see a scripture that applies to something I ask something or use it in a reply which is why the thread got so long (John complained to me that I took up too much space and was making a big deal out of nothing important). If someone mentions a scripture to me I say something in return if I see something about that scripture... I wish you had chosen to correct me if you felt I was treating the original scripture as a mere external practice in order not to see my own hearts rebellious nature. You out of every one I did not expect to find something like this here. | ||||||
229 | NT canon in 1st century or 350 AD? | Ps 119:89 | Tamara Brewington | 204133 | ||
Say Steve, I don't think I got this until I just checked the thread... Talkin bout the NT only, my mistake in my question... Got it that Peter refers to Paul, and yes there were authoritative references to most of the NT with the church Fathers, but that was most, not all. 1)Marcion anyone, didn't he have the first known compiled canon and didn't it leave out a vast amount of books in the NT that he didn't believe belonged there? 2)But as to there being a full canon of the NT like we have today, would you give that a date of first century, or 350 AD? 3)Wasn't there ongoing arugumentation amongst the church fathers up till about 350 AD as to whether some of the letters of Paul were to be included, is that wrong or right? God Bless, Tamara |

237 | Solomon's judgment of Adonijah and Joab | 1 Kin 2:13 | Tamara Brewington | 204044 | ||
Doc you are pure gold! Thanks for the advice... I hear you loud and clear, where text says there is a type, there is a type, where the text says there is a shadow, there is a shadow, where the text draws a parallel, there is a parallel(like in Hebrews about Melchizedek and Jesus). Where there are silimarities those are legitimate similarities but if the various authors did not intend to draw that into a parallel don't make one... Got it Doc. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
238 | Are there dinosaurs? | Job 40:15 | Tamara Brewington | 204033 | ||
Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? Isaiah speaks of the Leviathan in Isaiah 27:1, and Job speaks of Behomoth in Job 40:15. Are these dinos? Or some other large creature now extinct? Scientists have proved these things exist and have differing opinions of whether or not these things were around before man, or during man. Opinions with any other scriptures please. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
239 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | Tamara Brewington | 204025 | ||
Dear John, I have repeatedly tried to attach the scriptures by going up to where it says in two different drop downs to do so. Every time I do my screen snaps out, even though I have not clicked go and I lose my page and have to redo the whole thing. So perhaps you could be so kind as to instruct me how to better use this feature, please.. I would not like to have the last word John, and I don't think this is a chat room. All my long questions have everything to do with putting the scriptures in context with my question and are not intended to take up space or to chat. What I have been consistently looking for is a chance to learn from someone else the answers to my questions, if there are any answers. What has consistently been happening is that I have been getting replies that are not being backed up with scriptures, which goes back to your point, that this is not a chat room, but is a forum for Bible study. And that is exactly, if you were to go back through each and every question that I have asked I have used this site for. And even though I was not able to sucsessfully attach a scripture, I have included in each and every questions the scripture and sometimes scripture in question. And to my knowledge some of my notes in reply are about as long as my questions and part of why is I am quoting the scriptures in them and exploring them in my answers... I actually do wear a hat all the time, I gave up wearing a bed hat, because obviously I can't possibly be praying or prophesying while asleep. Please laugh with me, I had to laugh at myself John... Obviously in I Corinthians 11:5 Paul is talking about women participating in the churh out loud in the congregation. Especially if you consider that they were prophesying, that wasn't silent. I am aware of the passage where Paul is telling the ultra-spiritual women to shut up and sit down because they were causing a disturbance in the congregational worship. Consider this passage with me about whether or not Paul had female ministers, not Pastors, but ministers; Romans 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea, that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, and of myself as well. Ok, note the word diakonos, there are many other times this word is used in the NT and in a lot of cases it is translated minister instead of servant(we all know a minister is a servant), but the translators decided, in harmony with the scriputre you mentioned because Phoebe was a woman, to say servant. However, the word there is in the masculine referring to a female and Paul did not make a mistake and he tells the church that when she arrives to give her whatever she needs. Now, it can't be that Paul was merely talking about housing and food, because he says she was working with him in ministry and he calls her a minister, there is no way to get around it she was a minister. Albeit she was working under the authority of Paul, a man, in keeping with the concept of headship, she was not an overseer like Timothy. Consider another one with me; Acts 18:24-26 where Priscilla and Aquilla were both teaching Apollos together. Although Priscilla was teaching Apollos under the authority of her husband Aquilla, she was indeed teaching. Also interesting is that Paul consistently lists Priscilla first whereever he speaks of this husband and wife team, he may have had a reason to do so. Last, but not as important, God made Deborah a judge over Israel with full authority, rule and rights over all of Israel including the men and they all followed her, an acception to the norm for then, I grant you. Do you see what I tried to do here as I have cosisitently done? I keep on presenting either a question based on the text I cite or quote, or a reply based on a text I cite or quote. This is not chat, it is Bible study and I believe the intent, if not the content is within the guidelines set forth in this site. I am sorry you are so offended that my questions, and maybe my answers seem to darn long. I tried to be concise, some of the questions were not simple, life situations may seem simple, but I am asking about the scriptures that attend to those situations and am interested in what the Bible has to say as to the over arching principle of a thing. And my concern about hats is not pendantic about an outward show of conformity, it is about an inward desire to be obedient to God in all things as He is the ultimate head of the church. I hope I am still teachable to you. God bless you John as you continue to teach... You sister in Christ, Tamara |
